This blokes a fecking genius. This is the second run through of this series, and I absolutely love it.
Great job. I've learned more about carburetors in the last 17 minutes than I have in the last 60 years!
These are easily the videos that make me the happiest when they're uploaded
This is 2022, and i have just come across them.....BRILLIANT! So i am just banging them out one by one at the moment!!
Great cinematography, great voiceover, great storytelling! I've never owned a Land Rover and never will but I love watching these.
Never say never!
@@GeoffreyCroker I've owned two, but never again.
This channel and Rainfall Projects are the two most enjoyable channels to watch on TH-cam period. Content doesn’t come out all the time but when it is it’s more than worth the wait.
Thanks Tony. Spose I better go check out rainfall projects
I agree
Hi there!
I totally agree. Sadly those channels don't get the views they deserve.
I'll check you Rainfall Projects now.
Regards,
Etna.
I love rainfall projects. try Alec steel too... his last project took passion to a new level
Samson Boat Co is also very watchable.
I'm a retired certified master auto tech and I have to say, you performed a excellent rebuild on that carb. I especially liked that you re-plated the miscellaneous parts and levers. You get perfect marks from me my friend.
Cheers Rob
Wife just strolled into the living room to see this playing and says ‘this is the guy that cleans everything’. Well done darling...
Who knew a carb rebuild could be so entertaining?
just noticed this are new videos...was looking forward to sit for 4 days behind the screen to watch it full restored :)
Bad luck buddy. You’ve got a long wait on your hands... 😁
Was expecting bronze bushes, but fancy plastic is good too. Thanks for making the effort to share your projects, your channel is brilliant! Sitting in my workshop with a beer ignoring all the stuff I should be doing to watch you do it is quite relaxing.
I don't have a car but I love watching videos like this about repairing cars
"... without a rage guy showing up." Loving these hands on videos. So refreshing to see the mistakes and the triumphs, warts and all.
Literally the best Land Rover restoration series on the net
after many many years of working on vintage Harlies, with a handfull of Triumphs, Nortons, and BSA's thrown in, I relate to these videos entirely too well!
Absolutely love 'em, thank you!
Hit like, THEN watch.
David Plass that’s exactly what I did
always
Yep, like first!
1200 times.
Exactly my procedure.
Your workmanship, editing and commentary are second to none. Keep up the great work.
"and we got through all that without a rage guy showing up " 😂😂
Was top of my suggestions today. Said 'oh good' out loud and settled down to watch.
Was woken up by a notification and yet I couldn't be more happier to be woken up at 5AM.
Dude. Hit that do not disturb button. No one should be woken at 5am. Crazy talk.
I usually wake up at around 6.30AM, so it's no biggie. At least I got something to watch for the next 20 min
Very nice work!
God I love these vids. Downright therapeutic.
Definitely needed this update, I really enjoy watching this restoration
Keep up the great work - the highlight of my day!
Always happy to see the next installment of your videos, as a machinist and fabricator these are expertly done and the quality of the work and the videos are amazing!
Awww... thanks Andrew 🙂
Saved this for with the morning coffee and pipe. Well done, thank you kindly!
What a joy to watch these videos are, thank you kindly sir.
Thanks Geoffrey. You have outdone yourself as always
You make it look so easy.. Nice Work.
Thank you for making these videos! I really enjoy your meticulous work.
Keep 'em coming - Always looking forward to the next instalment.
Brilliant as always. Thank you for explaining everything in such detail, and with such great filming. It really helps wrapping my head around some of the "mystery" around gas engines! Also love the humor.
This is so amazing to watch, and educational! I love it :D
Nicely done. Love the toilet analogy. 👍🏻
I am wildly entertained by the subtle inside Lucas jokes!!
957 likes vs 0 dislikes. First I've seen and so well deserved. Content, audio and photo quality is top notch. Geoff, you're what I look forward too when you don't upload in a while, like this time, I really hope you're doing well outside of this internetz thing.
Johan Sidén Thanks Johan. Someone’s disliked it now 😀
@@GeoffreyCroker I will find him and then he will disappear. Together with his dislike.
As always, great job Mr Geoff! Thanks for the video, hope to see another one soon! :)
Wonderful, fantastic, funny, interesting, great production. Thanks for doing these.
Beautifully done!!!
Great video concise and very easily watched. Thanks Steve
So much love for this. The Metallica at the end was awesome!
Well sir, this is the series of videos that I get most excited about, I can't wait for the next video.
I love all of your videos! You’re one of the best! Keep it up!
Thank you 🙏😁
Love your videos Geoffrey, look forward to the next one. Keep at it.
Your work is amazing. Great video as always.
Can't wait for the next one
This is art !! Thank you very much for showing us your work 👍 channels like yours are very rare or difficult to find ;)
Wow, very impressive. This type of carburetor (34 IV) was fitted to my Vauxhall Victor FB 1964, and it annoyed me a lot, couldn't fix it then because I didn't know about it then 30 years ago. But finally I Was able to fix it now or I should say restored it the way you did it with brand new genuine parts as per specs.
Keep these Videos coming man, they're great!
Without doubt the best zenith carb video I’ve watched! And I’ve watched a few!!! :)
Outstanding!!
I sure did trained you well..
Good Job
Excellent work on the throttle shaft repair
One thing about you guys with O.C.D., you make brilliant TH-cam videos! You Andrew, Luke Towan and of course the ultimate O.C.D. himself - Clicksprin, all make ridiculously good videos that us mere mortals can only dream about! Thanks. 👍
I love all of your videos! You’re one of the best professional guy on youtube - You should try to use aqua blasting for this carb. Always looks like new after qua blasting process. Thanks
I’ve been waiting for this 😊 feels like forever.
And now it’s all over ☹️
again again
I wholeheartedly echo the last three comments. Clever ,informative , and sometimes hilarious videos. Cannot wait for the next one.....
Another amazing video men! Please continue!
Regards from France
Well done Geoffrey! Really great editing as usual. And to be fair your channel is the pinnacle of NZ youtube contributions haha :D
Actually a couple of the really big ‘girl putting on makeup’ channels are from NZ... random fact for ya 🤣. As far as I know I’m lonely in the making/engineering genre though 😢
@@GeoffreyCroker Well, there is one Kiwi living in Vienna who is into restoring old machines and converting them into CNC. Check out RotarySMP.
Nice one. Educational and entertaining. Thank you for your careful recording and editing.
Thank you for watching 😀👍
As always sir an outstanding presentation hit like as always without even starting to watch 😎👍
Regards
Robert

Another great video!! Where were you and TH-cam when I was a 16 year old kid (nearly 40 years ago!) struggling to get my 50cc bike running smooth and messing with the carb almost weekly??!!
Yes. I can stop checking your channel for new videos that might have snuck out without me noticing! For 17 minutes, at any rate.. aaaand now back to checking every day.
Excellent!
Top notch. Thank you.
Awesome and thank you! see you in a month, enjoy your next project.
That myford will be a fantastic restroation video! can't wait keep up the very entertaining video's
I like this channel so much, keep upnthe good work ✌🏻👍🏻
Just yesterday I thought about you, tell where this guy went missing ... when the morning video is loaded! First like, then watching 😉! Welcome back Geoffrey!!!
Haha, thanks Roberto
Perfect job Geof !
BRILLIANT!!!
Excellent and very usefull, thanks.
Well done! I like the way you describe things. Not to much info not to little.
Love your vids mate, really well put together
Brilliant finale
Geoff, good decision on the plastic. I use it in my job. It has grear wear resistant, does not degrade with petroleum products, and as you demonstrated, easy to machine. The only better product is Liguid Steel but it's to cost prohibited in not industry application and requires a curing oven. Kudo!
Cheers Craig 👍
I absolutely love your Video's Geoffrey! Ive watched them all a good few hundred times!
Good Job Kiwi! :-)
When I worked at the carb shop we used to bore the body with a guided counter bore leaving a step in the bottom of the bore. That meant boring in from both sides. as for bushes they were coated with a Ramset superglue and bashed into their bores with a small ballpeen hammer, finished with a Stanley knife. Finish reaming was with a suitable hand reamer.
Interesting, as i remember old Swedish Volvo B-18 also had a Zenith Carburettor. The most common problems with them as i remember was the lack of real bearings for the airvalve wich makes the bearingpoints for the axle to wear out ower time and caus problems when the lid started wobbling. But maybe that's fixed on the newer models... The old models was pretty easy to take apart and back again.
Easily the best channel on the entire youtube
probably best restoration channel
Love this channel 😊
The best! I love your videos
Finally! Love this stuff
I love carburettor rebuilds. I've got an old uniquely modified Corolla carb on the shelf still. I don't have a Corolla or an engine to use it, but damn I want to rebuild it now.
my favorite comedian is back...good show Mate...
chur bro 👍
Very enjoyable, thank you!
Kim Henriksson Thanks Kim
This is the kind of restoration I'd like to do on my two old Beetles.
Does the heart good to watch you work, going through every detail and documenting it!
I have a box of various and sundry carbs off multiple vehicles, most could use this sort of repair! I'll probably have the better ones done by a specialist (at least the better VW ones) and have a go myself at the junkier ones. Huh, that's a accelerator-pump design new to me!
Just for the sake of debate, I'd imagine that busted pinhole could be fixed with some silver-solder, filing smooth, and re-drilling. But that would take more patience and steadier hands than I possess! XD
Outstanding!
Cheers Bill
Part 6 please! 😆😀. We’re ready !
I tought your land rover was a diesel. I need more videos by the way! Your work is inspiring!
Top quality stuff (as always)....
I'm only just commenting now. But I watched the video at 3AM. Was about to go to sleep, then seen you had posted and had to watch. Great content as usual keep up the good work!!!
Good job mate
Hey Geoffrey I’m 16 years old and I really love your content these are probably my favorite videos rn, and I’m just wondering when your next upload will be.
So good.
Love that email address; my coffee came out of my nose
Great video, great editing. 👍
Cheers Rusty
yes! welcome back man!
Looks fantastic, I should dig out the old one I have and see which problem made it a piece of crap when it was on my SIII. If I was a patient person that hand-lapping would be such a soothing thing to do, however I'm sure I would get bored very quickly.
Great production, storytelling and humor (humour, am I right?)!
Binky, ThisOldTony, Geoff Croker, Clickspring. Best videos on the internet.
Cold war motors is right up there with the skills...different approach to getting things done. Offers a nice balance to one's viewing.
Xto ficar maluco com os vídeos, adoro Land Rover.
Once upon a time, on a 1972 Dodge Dart (4-door sedan) with the famous 225 ci Slant Six engine, I rebuilt the carb. When I installed the throttle plate, I filed the two plate-holding screws flush with the throttle rod, and added center punches to ensure that the now-studs never moved again. The smoothed-out airflow at this choke point seemed to make a subtle difference in how the car performed, and even sounded. Combined with other simple mods (free flowing exhaust, advanced ignition....that's about it); it certainly started going through rear axles.
